What would you like to see? (Wicked City Girls)

As part of ongoing development with our partners at Wicked City Girls I thought it would be a good idea to create a dedicated thread for the sharing of ideas and concepts, in the the "the Hour is Now" thread there has been some discussions as to what there should be so I thinks it's time for those ideas to be looked at and expanded on and where possible developed.

So let's see what ideas we can propagate, and see where it will lead us.

One of the major attractions for me are the costumes from comics, so it would be nice to see a character have an original one, it may not go with the gritty style your going for, but the odd character in costume would be nice to see.

One of the best things I liked about some of the Heather Effects comics was that to the general public the women appeared very heroic, built up a good reputation, but really they were biding their time, gaining power and influence, ready to unleash hell on an unsuspecting world. I think that would be a great storyline, in this scenario I think a colourful and/or patriotic costume would work really well, make the betrayal of the peoples trust even more profound.

But, as this is a wishlist, my biggest wish is that you keep producing films which show super strong, invulnerable, kickass babes.

How about some superpowers other than super strength, bullets bouncing, laser eyes, and choking guys?

Teleportation: SUPER easy camera trick. Der. Some motion graphics would help add some spice. As long as you have a plate, you can make anyone go POOF.
Telekinesis: Might need some 3D work or wire work if you want to do floating objects, but a TK choke-lift would be quite hot. Doors slamming, pushing people, and general movement of things along countertops is every easy wire work. Hell, you could do it wish fishing line or some crew-man just standing out of the shot. Good acting helps with the illusion of TK.
Mind Control / Possession: Easy with acting. Possession would be cool to have a girl possess someone else and “talks through them”.
Invisibility: Would be cool to see a girl semi-transparent. Completely invisible to the other actors but not to us.
Floating: Flying is always tricky and cheesy (believe me, I know) but FLOATING could be cool. A top shot of a girl’s upper body near the ceiling + a shot of her feet/legs dangling provides enough illusion to make it seem like she is just levitating.
Creation: Personally IMO, one of the sexiest superpowers. Imagine a girl who just CREATES henchmen out of thin air! Similar to teleportation.

Believe it or not, I do have a degree in Video Production and FX. I’m tired of seeing the same-old same-old. Impress me with some creativity. You need a GODDESS character... someone who isn’t a superhero or a super villain but something more akin to a sorceress or a witch. Someone who has super powers beyond the mere physical and can alter reality. Now SHE would be a tough opponent.

PS: And I’m not trying to be rude. I’m honestly trying to help you venture into new grounds.

PPS: And I have done ALL of these effects in my own home with my GF... granted, we were not fighting each other with powers

You could replace actress A with actress B via a teleportation effect... or even have someone turn into SOMETHING to hide: an animal, a chair, whatever... that’d be cool.

Too many girls are just “super girl reincarnate”. We need a Mystique or a Mrs. Manhattan (without all the blue skin) or a Jean Grey or a Kitty Pride. I’ll let you know when I figure out an easy way to do “walking through walls”. That effect is a bitch.

I STRONGLY HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH enchantederotica, A LARGE NUMBER OF US IN THIS FORUM, PROBABLY MORE THEN 80%, LOVE INVULNERABILITY AND SUPER STRENGTH BUT I TELL YOU MORE: THESE ARE THE MOST DREAMED AND LOVED SUPERPOWERS BY FAR SO THIS PLACE IS NOT THE BEST PLACE TO ASK IT; JESS LOVED OUR FORUM BECAUSE WE LOVE ESPECIALLY THESE KIND OF POWERS.
THERE ARE SO MANY FORUMS ON THE NET FOCUSED ON YOUR PREFERRED THINGS BUT HERE THE AIR IS SO, THAT'S IT AND WE LOVE IT AND LOVE IF JESS DO WHAT WE LOVE AND SHE LOVES.

THAT'S MY OPINION,OF COURSE RESPECTING YOUR AND ESCUSING ME FOR NOT THE BEST ENGLISH POSSIBLE

AND YOU HAVE 100 OR MORE OTHER SITES AND FORUM-COMMUNITIES TO PROMOTE THE VIDEOS, THIS FORUM IS FOCUSED MORE ON THESE POWERS THEN OTHERS YU PREFER, THIS IS A REALISTIC OBSERVATION, NOT AN OPINION.
OF COURSE RESPECT FOR YOUR OPINION TOO

First of all ... is this seriously happening? Like ... are you honestly upset that I voiced my opinion and suggestions for additional content of WCG by Fats’ request? You can’t say “I respect your opinion” while also completely bashing it and then expect that somehow makes it okay because clearly you don’t.

Secondly ... my suggestions were not for SWM or its forums as you so clearly are defending. From what I understand from Fats’ initial post, the reason this thread was created was for SWM's friends at WCG to expand their options and gain other interests, not anything to do with SWM. Your posting in contradictory to my suggestions dictates that you are somehow threatened that by expanding the powers shown in WCG, your personal tastes (and the mysterious 80% of other viewers) are in danger.

Thirdly ... I think you are exaggerating quite a bit when claiming that there are 100s of websites/forums ... well, I honestly can’t figure out what your point is. Something about what I mentioned in my second point: you feel like my post is somehow a threat to “girls that are invulnerable and bullets bounce off them”. I’ll be the first to gladly and a happily admit that I created Enchanted Erotica because specifically: the powers I mentioned above are commonly IGNORED by many websites. I could not find any website devoted to stories or videos dedicated to younger babes (18+) using powers such as teleportation, telekinesis, invisibility, on and on and on in ways that were NOT about killing or hurting other people. I understand WCG is more into the “fighting” aspect, which is fine, but super-girls can have some of the powers I mentioned. However ... the 100s of other websites and forums that you claim exist either 1) do not exist at all or 2) I have not discovered them.

Finally ... based on my POV ... Fats created this post to see what people want to see. I said what I want to see. Not only that but as someone with a background in video production, I advised them on how it is possible to create such effects (which I am sure they understand many of them). While I am just one girl and hold equal sway in what another post might say, you claiming you speak for “80% of the people" is really unfair because I am quite confident you are not speaking for nearly that ammount. If you respected my opinion, you would not have tried to bash it as you have done while trying to speak for “the masses”.

I agree: this thread isn't about what Superwomanmania is about, it's for suggestions to Wicked City Girls. And even if it was, people should always feel free and welcome to share their opinions. Others are free to politely disagree.

Though let's give Superhuanteenlover the benefit of the doubt: there are language and cultural barriers in play here, and he could have easily missed some of those cues: he is not reading in his native language either and he could have missed Fats message easily. That said, His posts were more than a bit confrontational,It's ok to tell wicked city girls "some of use won't like that'. Getting hostile about it is not.

Personally, a diverse offering will always be better. I don't find the standard super girl powerset boring, but many of the other powers EnchangedErotica mentioned are quite fine too, and give some range to the story.

I'm wrapping my head around Creation being "one of the sexiest super powers" -- but that's just curiosity. I don't find it so, but it's not like I need to. Everyone has their own things that interest them. I'm sure that many wouldn't understand why we think super strong invulnerable chicks are hot either. This goes along with a comment lfan made about treating bending a crowbar casually, without focus, or good special effects (namely sound). To someone who likes peril, this is just an after thought, and isn't important. To most here, that's what we want to see. It can take the same screen time (or a few seconds longer) and we're happy, and no one else is bothered. If I were making something that had creation, I'd probably just have it happen while other things were going on, and not give it any focus, and that would disappoint EnchangedErotica for similar reasons, without needing too. Maybe explaining why it's the sexiest will help frame to Wicked Girls how they should pay attention to it if they add it in.

Also, Judgement Girl Revelations HAS telekinesis in it, including a choke lift and tossing a man across the room. It's not very long, but it is in there. That said, maybe a bit too much emphasis on throat lifts and neck snapping. If no one can hurt you, it's probably more fun to keep them alive and play with them. At least some of them. I guess that DID happen too, if only once.

There is some telepathy, and mental projection as well. And their site indicates that some mind control and TK are on their power lists. (See the
Character List
and go to one of the character bios.

I find Mind Control mostly interesting from a acting standpoint. I love to see how an actor acts like another's character acting like her character. I love in Orphan Black when when Alison is acting like Sarah, so we get to see Tatiana Manslany acting like Alison acting like Sarah, instead of just acting like Sarah. And this happens in cases of possession: where you have one actor trying to act like another actor's character trying to act like their character. This takes skill to pull off well (most of the time, it's just the actor playing their normal part until you find out they are "possessed", and that's really no fun to me.)

Or simple mind swaps where each actor acts like other character in their bodies. I loved in Lost Girls when Kris Holden-Reid acting like Kenzi when she was in his body. Hilarious. (less nefarious than possession -- but swapping other people's minds around is a power someone could have)

But this takes good actors that can pull something subtle like this off. But I might also be looking for a different level of thing than EnchangedErotica, so less results might work well for him. It's also hard to show this in a few minute clip -- need some time with the character before, so you can appreciate the after. Maybe in a long running series, you could add this in.

I've not watched BBC America's Invaders, but the little girl acting like an old man: creepy/weird interesting, and it'll likely get me to watch the entire show. (though relevant to Wicked City Girls: I'm not sure it'd get me to buy one of their videos. I guess it depends on the rest of the story.)

The comments on Costumes are interesting. I'm hit or miss. A good costume is sexy, most I just go "oh, that's ok". I'd rather have a good story setup than a costume. OTH, if it's well done, and the woman in the costume is right (say Firestar in Bending steel == super hot), then I'm all for the costume. But it's both the woman -and- the costume (and how it fits into the story).

But then, I often commission super heroines out of costume (see lfan's avatar -- that's something I commissioned).

I like fit women -- so I'd not mind a bit more muscle/tone. But that can be hard to find in an actress, and it's also not everyone's thing.

I also really like power transfer. I LOVE weaker characters becoming stronger and then overcoming. Adding in some effects/costuming to make it look like they got more buff/busty//beautiful when that happens is pretty cool too. Some of the fitness women do look wildly buff depending on if they are pumped up or not. (or at least it seems so from pictures taken about the same time.) Or you could cast two actresses that sort of look alike, and swap out actresses when the change happens. That way you can go from a tiny 5' woman to one who is 5'10 and built. The Bill Bixby/Lou Ferigno effect. But it could also be from short/plain to busty underwear supermodel.

I also don't mind Evil characters -- but it does get a bit boring after awhile, and that's when I want to see someone like Judgement Girl going all postal on someone, to suddenly not being able to hold the girl up. She slowly drops to the ground, and bingo, Judgement Girl is normal and the prey is now as powerful as judgement girl was... Giving Evil it's just deserts now and then.

Of course the flip side is also hot, the preachy do-gooder acting high and mighty, lecturing the bad girl ... when wait, what's this?! And they're powerless and she's godlike. (And the variation where she just gets his/her power x10-1000, and the first person still has their powers, they're just like a child to them now...)

But I also tend to like the Bad Girl's who are just independent, and don't follow most of society's rules -- but aren't quite murdering psychopaths. CatWoman/Black Cat over Judgement Girl (excusing power levels, or maybe Maxima for someone of that power level).

In wicked City girls I'd MUCH rather meet Charlie -- at least when she's not on a Job. She *might* kill me, but she does project the image that if she's not getting paid, and you don't piss her off, she wouldn't bother. Judgment Girl, it isn't safe to be anywhere near her.

Well, at the risk of making a bad suggestion-why not make your own videos. Thats not ment to be flip or anything-just try.

I would like to see what you could do with it-your a talented enough writer, and like to see what you would do with videos. Be the change you want to be. I think broadly speaking your right(its not hundreds of videos, but yeah) A little variety is not a bad thing.

I have said this to other people-i would go straight youtube then fuss around with these werid pay videos-but you know. Actors are easy enough to get-you could do something. Just thought i wold make the suggestion.

Ps. for walking through walls i was going to suggest a really strong green directional light focusing on one spot so that when they walk out of it there no longer green...but yeah thats probabbly a lot of fancy compositing if your focusing on it.

probably I was mis-understood: yu are free to tell your opinion as all of us, I simply told that I DISAGREE you, not that I'm right and you are wrong; people have different opinions and is a normal thing but when someone tell you that he's not agree a large part of people try to defend themselves while is not necessary because I REPEAT, people have many different views of the things; the only thing that is not objectionable is that there some superpowers (super strenght and invulnerability) are more loved here then others.
I don't think this concept is too hard to understand.
So wellcome all kind of suggestions to our friend of WCG, all criticism is wellcome too if polite.

For me personally, about 90% of the "the hook" is in the costume. I love seeing the classic superheroine outfit with the boots, skirt, and cape. Beyond that, it's all about being ridiculously sexy, powerful, and confident. Good/evil doesn't really matter to me, though I do kind of like the idea of an "evil" supergirl gaining powers and suddenly testing them out on everything around her. I'm just sick of all the violent peril videos out there.

The one thing i can consistently say about there videos -I like them when there funny. Jess a legitimately funny comedian, and when she does her stuff with humor its always very good. She has a witt and style to her that's really commendable.

If they where to do an out and out comedy that does a good job of softening i think some of the blunt force of it-that's something

Creativity and intelligence would garner my attention. The ringtone video is a decent example because of how Judgement Girl records her victim's voice begging for mercy and then uses the recording as her ringtone. Another example could be getting a superpowered woman to make a deal with 2 normal guys to fight to the death or compete in some way or another, just to have see the superpowered women kill the men or do what she was going to do anyway. Mind you, I'm not saying that the men are brainwashed or made to compete via mind control. Just a deal that they can't refuse.

In short, have fun with the characters and their situations. Seeing a invincible anything kill weaker victims over and over again would get old eventually. Originality is key from my perspective.

I would like to see a young girl going to school somehow drinks a potion that gives her superstrength. She could use that to do well in school activities. Such as sports , weight lifting, and choking students that act bad. Kind of near a Smallville type story.
